Felt Rage Towards this Patient - first time

[fm_emt]

Nutters??

In my regular district for my truck we have 4 group homes/half way houses for people with mental difficutlties, the counties baker act (thats what we use for involuntary psych admissions) psych facility for patients without insurance, the detox center, the drug rehab place, the Greyhound bus station, 2 bridges that the homeless population call home, and the city jail. That doesn't include the night clubs, nursing homes, and the general tourist destinations that my district covers.

The county did the right thing....they put all the crazy people in one location.

You're my #1 choice to do a ride along with.

wow, i bet you've got restraints down....

~S~

Restraints - yea. Dont even bother with those silly soft restraints anymore. We'd use to many of them. Now we use pillowcases and 2 inch tape.

Cheaper that way.

Wow, princess...

The Nextel would have probably put me over the edge, too.

As for the rage... understandable... I've had paitents that have "ticked me off" before for worse reasons.

Finially...yes... the Doc deserved the Karma
